“You two will marry as soon as the hay is in.” Widow Nora Green smiled across the table at the serious faces of her daughter, Lessy, and her soon to be son-in-law, Vassar Muldrow. “I’m just so tickled I could purely swoon,” she added. “And I know, Vass, that your mother and daddy will be just as delighted.”
The big, blond young man gave a slight nod of agreement and stole a careful, respectful glance toward his future bride. “They couldn’t be more delighted than me, ma’am.”
